Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 223

Chapter 223: THE CRITICAL SITUATION (15)
“What happened?” Pyro watched the same thing too, he was dumbfounded… he watched how feral the black beast was and from the look of it, Zenith didn’t even realize what he was doing. He kept attacking all the people that he could reach, not even a shield could stop him.

He became ridiculously strong.

“What is going on here?” Addie approached them as well.

Meanwhile, Zaya was still trying to absorb all the black magic from Zenit, but if you watched closely, you would know that it was her, who was being absorbed by the black magic.

They could no longer see her body, as she was engulfed by the black wisp. It was like an ominous cocoon.

“What else did you remember from your previous life, Dawn? I am sure there must be a missing piece somewhere!” Pyro asked loudly against the harsh wind. The wind was very hot, it felt like it was going to burn them.

“I don’t know… I can’t remember anything else.” Dawn shook her head. She would have told them if there was something that she remembered, but she agreed with Pyro. There must be a missing piece somewhere.

Meanwhile, all the knights fought the black magic users. The concoction that Dawn and Lyra created helped their case, though it didn’t strengthen the sword, but at the very least, it would give them some form of protection.

Dawn observed it. Three strikes. Three strikes from black magic that the sword could handle before it snapped into two.

She told Addie to relay the message to all the knights.

Meanwhile, the warriors, who couldn’t shift into their beast took the swords from the dead knights and fought as well. They were not used to using sword, never in a sword fight, but they learned quickly and their sharp instinct helped them to adjust with this uncomfortable situation that they were in.

But, it wouldn’t really help with their current situation, because their real problem right now was not those black magic users, but this black wolf that ran rampant, killing all the people around him.

For now, because he was being surrounded by the black magic users, he killed them, yet Dawn was afraid, he wouldn’t stop there.

She was sure that he wouldn’t stop there…

Dawn knew from the crazed look in his eyes that Zenith wouldn’t stop there. There was something not right with her mate, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

Dawn then looked the ominous cocoon that engulfed Zaya. “I think we need to get Zaya out of there.” She couldn’t absorb the black magic, but what happened was the opposite and it could put her life in danger. That was the last thing that Dawn wanted for Zaya to be in danger.

Pyro cursed under his breathe. “Yes, I think she couldn’t handle it.”

With that was being said, he immediately rushed toward Zaya to get her out of the cocoon that trapped her, but his power was not enough, even with the help of Rowan, since the king was not a magic user.

“What kind of nasty thing that you put on the other knights’ swords?” Rowan asked Pyro and the royal beta explained it to him. “Give me one.”

Pyro then took a small bottle from his hip and poured it on Rowan’s sword, but he warned him first. “Don’t let your hope high, I don’t think it will work. It will only protect you from three strikes, before the sword snapped into two.”

“I don’t do it to protect myself,” Rowan said. He scrunched his nose because the smell of it was really disturbing. “Now, back off.”

Pyro looked at him with a frown. “What are you going to do?”

“Saving the princess,” Rowan replied nonchalantly.

Pyro did not really understand what Rowan was aimed for, but when he watched how he swung the sword and intended to break the cocoon of black wisp that covered Zaya, his eyes widened in shock.

“You could cut her!” Pyro shouted. Rowan could accidentally cut Zaya in the process, but he simply took a step back and stared at his sword.

This was the sword that made of fire magic stone. The same stone that was in Zaya’s dagger and Rowan could feel there was something different when he poured the concoction in it. The sword felt more… alive and stronger.

“Stop this!”

However, Rowan didn’t listen to him, he went ahead and swung his sword and this time, he did it with all of his might.

The sound when the sword and the black wisp cocoon made a collision was deafening. Pyro had to take a step back and cover his ears, so did the magic users, knights and the warriors nearby.

However, to their surprised, Rowan managed to split the cocoon into half and reveal Zaya inside.

“What the fuck are you doing?! Go and get her!” Rowan said, he couldn’t retract the sword, the black wisp held on it tightly, it was akin to a vine that crept on the blade. “GO AND GET HER OUT!”

Pyro finally snapped and then rushed to get Zaya out of the cocoon, she was unconscious. Her body was cold.

And once she was out, Rowan let go of his sword, as the black wisp swallowed it. It was a pity, since it was a good sword, but right now, Rowan’s main focus was on Zaya.

“What happened to her?!” Rowan asked, as he approached Pyro, who laid Zaya down on the ground, she was still breathing, thankfully. The king could see the movement from her chest, but she was unconscious.

“I am not sure.” Pyro shook his head. He checked on Zaya, she was fine, but he couldn’t tell for sure, since he was not a healer.

Meanwhile, not too far from them, the black beast managed to kill most of the black magic users, but just like what Dawn was afraid of, he didn’t stop there, because right now, he attacked the knights too.
